NOTE: This lineage is not adequately documented to fully accept as accurate.
It is intended for enjoyment only and not to be understood as historically correct.

Keep in mind that all such genealogies back to Adam and Eve are suspect. It is my opinion that the concept of "Divine Right of Kings" once influenced European rulers to find a family connection to a worthy character in the Bible in order to add validity to their claim to the throne. If the monarch's hired historian was under threat of execution should he fail to determine the proper lineage, there is reasonable expectation that he would be tempted to fabricate some of the king/queen's ancestry. Don't you agree?

Also of historical note is the "Springer Hoax" which resulted in many phony genealogies being created as Springer heirs attempted to cash in on a fantasy that started in the mid-1800's regarding millions of dollars supposedly owed to descendants of Carl Christopher SPRINGER by the governments of Wilmington, Delaware, and Stockholm, Sweden.
